oxford university has sacked its lawyer, Timothy Lawson-Cruttenden, following an abortive attempt to get two activists comitted to prison.

All is not going well for the infamous injunction lawyer Timothy Lawson-Cruttenden. He is currently faceing a blizzard of complaints due to questions arising from his involvement with the arms firm EDO in Brighton. Now it appears that Oxford university have dispensed with his services following his failure to get Mel & Rob of the SPEAK campaign locked up for supposedly breaching an injunction. This humiliating defeat has cost his client, Oxford University, over £40,000. The task of protecting the university's animal torture lab has now beeen given to a new firm of Solicitors, Simmons & Simmons. Whilst they have an excellent reputation when it comes to protecting Life Science patents how they will handle the "Protection from Harassment Act" remains to be seen.
